Meanwhile, our forum, a bustling community of largely like-minded failure-aficionados (and a large contingent of anoraks with overly-active imaginations) will be transferred to a new location at a later date soon, thanks to the efforts of a forum member, who will take over running it. When that happens, I hope to provide more context to what has taken place for anyone who is interested.

I suppose it is fitting our site should be consigned to the dustbin of history, just like so many of the teams we profiled.
